Aloha, Folks!
The third annual Seattle Area Home Bar Tour will be taking place on Friday & Saturday, July 18th & 19th.

DAY ONE
4pm: Meet N Greet and Vending* at Pete's Monkeyskull Voodoo Lounge. Between 4pm & 5pm ticket reservationists are expected to arrive to sign in and receive their Aloha bags (though I understand if some of you cannot make it directly at this time -- e.g., just got off work, traffic, etc). There will be DJed music throughout (Exotica, Latin, Surf, Hawaiian, Pop Jazz, Calypso, etc.). Appetisers and tropical drinks will be served. Vending will continue until 6pm, possibly a little later.

6pm: Backyard BBQ, followed by giveaways

7.30pm: Slide Show of Tiki Bars, Past and Present by Jeffrey Cook

9pm: Live, debut performance from Seattle's 'The Band From U.N.C.L.E.'

Evening will continue to 'til it fizzles out round midnight.

DAY TWO (The Tour)
4.30pm: Meet up at Lincoln Park in West Seattle (in the main parking lot along Fauntleroy Way)

5pm: Bus departs Lincoln Park

In the interim 4 Seattle area home bars will be visited, with an approximate 45 minute stop at each. Tropical libations and appetisers will be served at each stop.

The Ship Aground
The Castaway Lounge
Paradise Beach
The Shrunken Head Lounge

11pm: Bus returns to Lincoln Park

*There is no fee to vend, only the purchase of a ticket, but there are a couple conditions, and only so many places available. Please contact me in advance.

To reserve a ticket, please submit $50/ticket via Paypal to t66gunn@yahoo.com. As always, with the exception of a natural disaster, these tickets are non-refundable.

I'm pleased to announce that Lynette Wylie of Seattle's 'Island Life' store is on board as a contributor, sponsor, and all round inspired and inspirational comrade of this year's Seattle Area Home Bar Tour. We've got some great curios and limited edition items for the Tour folks, as well as a special gift for each of the home bar owners!

Ticket reservations for the event are filling up more quickly than expected, so get yours today!

Update: This year's live entertainment will be provided by Seattle's newest Lounge/Pop Instrumental group, The Band From U.N.C.L.E., this in its second incarnation making its debut performance. As well, after the backyard BBQ, local artist Jeffrey Cook will be presenting a non-comprehensive slide show of Tiki bars, past and present.

Tickets for the event are still available. See updated initial post of this thread for further information. Official and final information for the event will be sent out via email to all the ticket reservationists two weeks prior the event.

There's a few 'pending spots' left, but I can and will no longer wait, as there are people interested in your spots. Please submit payment for ticket reservations, as the Tour spots are nearly filled, and as this is a private, limited-capacity event. When the spots are filled, the event's sold out!
